    • MSE Seminar: “Lansdcapes of Glass”

    /
    Auditorium, LRSM Building 3231 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

    If cooled sufficiently quickly, the disorder of a liquid can be "quenched" or locked in place; the resulting amorphous solid is glass. Although it appears to be solid on human timescales, glass continues to creep due to thermal vibrations at the molecular scale. Consider now a pile of sand; it too is a disordered system, […]

    ODEI Spotlight: Critical Race Theory and DEI: From Theory to Practice

    /
    https://upenn.zoom.us/j/96715197752

    The African-American Resource Center & Office of Affirmative Action Presents: Critical Race Theory and DEI: From Theory to Practice Join us as we examine the language switch from Critical Race Theory to Diversity Equity and Inclusion, and what each term means and what DEI means and looks like at Penn.   Zoom Link: http://upenn.zoom.us/j/7443577924   […]

    GRASP on Robotics: “Event-based Neuromorphic Perception and Computation: The Future of Sensing and AI”

    /
    Wu and Chen Auditorium (Room 101), Levine Hall 3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

    *This will be a HYBRID Event with in-person attendance in Wu & Chen Auditorium and Virtual attendance via Zoom Webinar here. There has been significant research over the past two decades in developing new systems for spiking neural computation. The impact of neuromorphic concepts on recent developments in optical sensing, display and artificial vision is […]

    PICS Colloquium: “From atoms to emergent mechanisms with information bottleneck and diffusion probabilistic models”

    /
    Zoom - email kathom@seas.upenn.edu

    Abstract: The ability to rapidly learn from high-dimensional data to make reliable predictions about the future is crucial in many contexts. This could be a fly avoiding predators, or the retina processing terabytes of data guiding complex human actions. Modern day artificial intelligence (AI) aims to mimic this fidelity and has been successful in many domains […]

    BE Dissertation Defense: “Versican/Collagen Interactions in Tissue Structure and Mechanics” (Dongning Chen)

    /
    BRB 253

    The Department of Bioengineering at the University of Pennsylvania and Dr. Rebecca Wells are pleased to announce the Doctoral Dissertation Defense of Dongning Chen. Title: Versican/Collagen Interactions in Tissue Structure and Mechanics Date: Nov. 8, 2021 Time: 12pm    The public is welcome to attend in person at BRB 253 and via zoom: https://upenn.zoom.us/j/6088045110

    MEAM Seminar: “Time and Rate Dependent Fracture of Polymer Gels and Interfaces”

    /
    Zoom - Email MEAM for Link peterlit@seas.upenn.edu

    Fracture of materials and interfaces is often time and rate dependent. The underlying mechanisms for the time and rate dependent fracture may include local molecular processes, viscoelasticity, and poroelasticity (solvent diffusion coupled with deformation). In this talk, I will present our recent works on two different mechanisms. First, the effects of poroelasticity on fracture of […]

    ESE Fall Colloquium Seminar – “2D Materials, from Academia to Industry”

    /
    Raisler Lounge (Room 225), Towne Building 220 South 33rd Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

    Semiconductor sales will reach over $500 billion worldwide in 2021, a gigantic industry that keeps on growing with increasing demand for faster, more powerful, and smaller chips. However, as we keep scaling, the silicon (Si) transistor will soon reach its physical limit, and there is a pressing need to find an alternative post-Si material to […]

    CIS 189 Guest Lecture: “Optimization in Practice”

    /
    Towne 307 220 S. 33rd Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

    Abstract: Discrete optimization plays a critical role in solving various resource allocation problems within the industry. In this talk, we study problems from the two extremes of the optimization landscape; operational decision-making in real-time and resource provisioning for future considerations. Motivated by real-world business requirements ranging from load balancing in heterogeneous environments to privacy concerns […]

    Fall 2021 GRASP SFI: “Artificial Intelligence and its Impact on Engineered-Systems Design”

    /
    Levine 307 3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

    *This will be a HYBRID Event with in-person attendance in Levine 307 and Virtual attendance via Zoom here… Our research employs artificial intelligence techniques that seek to automate the main time/cost drivers of engineered-systems design. The features of a system inform the form, function and behavior of the resulting concept that can be subsequently created […]

    ESE Fall Colloquium Seminar – ” Beyond Curve-Fitting: What’s next for deep learning in biomedical imaging?”

    /
    Glandt Forum, Singh Center for Nanotechnology 3205 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

    Over the last 5-10 years, deep learning has transformed biomedical imaging, from enhancing acquisition to maximizing downstream utility of scans. My research group has been at the forefront of this revolution, developing novel methods that have laid the foundation for next-generation tools. As I will describe in my talk, much of this progress relies on […]

    MSE Seminar: “Local to Meso-scale Order in Electronic Ceramics Characterized by Aberration -Corrected Scanning Transmission Electron Microscopy”

    /
    Auditorium, LRSM Building 3231 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

    The ability to design the composition and microstructure of electronic ceramics for emerging technological applications requires sophisticated characterization techniques that can provide quantitative information about local structure and chemistry. Such structure quantification is particularly important to the fundamental understanding of properties in many important non-linear dielectrics, where chemical heterogeneities associated with dopants or intrinsic lattice […]
